Automator plugin | Custom file names - seomaster3 - 12-01-2014
Hey guys, I have a question about the Scrapebox Automator.
So far it's pretty badass and doing everything I need it to, but I do have one sticky point.
I'd like to be able to inject certain variables in the filename that the Automator plugin exports.
Example:
<% date %>_<% keywords %>_<% location %>.txt
This would prevent any inadvertent overwriting and help me classify my data.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Its not possible directly.
You could have it always save to a given file name and then in the next step call an external application that would then take that file and rename it. Something really basic like a batch file (that is compiled to a exe with a free app) could do it. Or you could use any language to build such an app of course.
